For all other languages spotlights where are accepted:
1) Wiki requirements
The wiki should have:
- at least 100 good pages.
- a logo.
- a useful home page.
- most pages in a category.
- a customized New Wikia Look.
2) Create the spotlight image
Added by MtaÄ- Your picture sent to us will go into the background
- 1) is the name of your wiki. For example "Narutopedia" or "Mad Men Wiki"
- 2) is a short description what your wiki and/or the picture itself is about. If you refer to a special subject, please note that. You should be sending this description sentence both in English and the language you request your spotlight for (de, es, it, pl, fr, zh, etc.)
Create an image to use as the spotlight that is 255px wide and 123px tall or alternatively, send us a link to an image you would like us to use for the spotlight. The image should clearly show what the wiki is about. If you decide to send us a link to create the image for your spotlight, please make sure that the image is wider than it is tall, so it fits the ratio of the spotlight better and won't be cut off unexpectedly. If you decide to create an image on your own, please do not add any text or a Wikia logo on it.
Also - if you create the image yourself, make sure there are no compression artefacts on the image itself. We will compress the image later, so you don't need to do that if you submit an image.
Upload the image on the wiki you want to spotlight.
If you have questions about international spotlights, or if you would like some help designing a spotlight, please leave a talk page message for Marc-Philipp.
